  My doctor says that I will have to have same kind of lense in the other eye, otherwise the quality of vision will be different in both the eyes and there may be headache etc. I want  the company advice.

there are many many comments on the ReStor IOL. Please see those threads. You can have a different IOL in the second eye. Why does the ReStor not work for you: residual astigmatism, opacity, etc...has your doctor answered your questions? Technis is a multifocal and crystalens is accomodating all have there advantages and disadvantages. good luck!
